Try Opelcorsa.co.za
theres a spec sheet on there. it lists the 0-100mph time but not the 1/4 mile time. If your any good at maths you can use the formula:
Speed=Distance
Time

That formula won't do anything for working out a 1/4 mile time! 
Standard 1.4 16v Sport you looking at around 18.4 - 18.8 seconds over a 1/4 mile.

yep acceleration needs to be constant for that equation to work

Gambit - acceleration has to be 0 for that equation to work!!
If acceleration is a known constant, you could use s = ut + 1/2at^2
